2006 Event Insurance Information
For 2006, all Charlotte Sports Cycling off-road events will be sanctioned with the National Off-Road Bicycle Association (NORBA). In the past Charlotte Sports Cycling has carried private insurance for all off-road events.  In 2004, the private insurance rate premiums more than tripled.  In order to keep the winter and summer entry fees as minimal as possible, CSC opted to sanction all events with NORBA.  NORBA has made many changes for 2006 that will cater more to promoters and the riders.  First and foremost, please understand this is still a local series. Sanctioning these events with NORBA will make the series a better event.  Riders participating in the series will receive points towards State and National Rankings....pretty cool..  Please review the following changes for 2006
1) There will not be a NORBA one-day license fee for non-licensed riders.  There will be two different rates for licensed and non-licensed participants: 
  Winter Series: Entry Fee = $18; NORBA Licensed  Riders = $13
  Summer Series: Entry Fee = $13; NORBA Licensed Riders = $10
2) Expert participants must have a NORBA license, the Semi-Expert category is considered a sport category.  There will be a short grace period for Expert participants. 
3) All categories will remain the same.
